About the Persona 9H
The Paradigm Persona 9H is Paradigm’s flagship hybrid floorstanding loudspeaker: a six-driver, 3-1/2-way design combining a passive beryllium tweeter/midrange section with four internally amplified, DSP-controlled bass drivers. Its active acoustic-suspension bass system uses Anthem Room Correction (ARC) and a supplied calibrated microphone to optimize low-frequency performance for the listening room. The speaker is designed for very high output, exceptionally broad bandwidth, and compatibility with a wide range of external amplifiers for the passive mid/high section.
